what is Obama even saying? Does he know?
The graph is undecidd voters inCO. Its a real-time result of how they are viewing the candidates based on what they are saying at the mOment
I just paid $3.78 a gallon tonight. Someone reminded me that 4 years ago I was paying less than $2. I would take $2.50 right now and be very happy. With all the talk about ENERGY production increases, you'd think I could find gas near what it was before he took office.
Obama says somebody needs to make decisions...if that's so, why hasn't he made any.
Mitt Romney is on it with the numbers
Romney is holding up well, but my trust is in Obama's economy plan going forward. I couldn't imagine Gov. Romney being President of the United States...what would America look like if that happened? Unimaginable!
Mitt is saying the same thing over and over again!
I cant believe how The president is speaking in generalities. No details.
Stephania, Obama went over his time limit more than 30 seconds and has repeatedly avoided the question and segued [sp?] onto a different 'angle' so to speak...Obama is looking SO bad...I can barely watch him....
Do I hear LANDSLIDE???
keep the debate on topic
Sad that Mitt has to school Obama in business 101
Romney continues to use his made up numbers – That's how you raid companies not run countries.
Mitt is a financial genious! I hope he wants to charge foriegn countries for our military services!!
Mitt Romney is smoking Obama...he seems so much more knowledgeable on the issues of the economy, the deficit and taxes and jobs, etc, etc...he's BURYING him!!!!
Who ever pronise to lower gas prices lower taxes get my vote
Tell Jim Lehrer to stop letting Romeny interrupt.
This guy must get control of his debate!!!!!!!!! He is allowing Romney to speak more and for longer periods of time and pres. Obama is not getting fair or equal time!!!!!!! Get control and make this a fair debate!!!
I like the topic of not getting tax breaks for businesses overseas. Would like to hear more concrete structures for this.
I voted for Obama and i really like him, but i think he had his opportunity to fix our country.
Good answer Barack on Social Security...
Bush is wondering what he'll do if he's relected...I mean he'll inherit such a mess!!!!!!
Obama, look into the eyes of the audience. Looking off screen looks shifty and quit playing the blame game. Telling us HOW you are going to do things–not just lofty goals.
If you have half a brain you can see Obama twitching and agreeing with Romney. It's over and now we do need change because the last one clearly didn't work! Vote Romney or be prepared to suffer the consequences with the current despot!
I agree with Vic, Obama needs to be more specific and stick to the point. Romney is cleaning his clock. If Obama want to win this debate, he needs to stop being so nice and go for Romney's throat. Hit Back!
Did the president just say that right now you could get a deduction to ship jobs overseas? Last i knew he was the president and should of stopped that.
